Exclusive inside look to where your bobbleheads are made in China!
Wanna see where your bobbleheads that you spend a lot of money on are made? I had the opportunity to have an “underground” inside sneak peek to where all the action takes place. We all know they are made in China, so here’s an exclusive inside look into the shops where bobbleheads are hand crafted from scratch. A current worker within the factory gave me full access to where it all goes down.
Here we have a production line of Yadier Molina bobbleheads that include the heads and bases.
Some Jacob deGrom bobbles that need their heads glued on.
Looks like either Bryce Harper or Joey Votto heads are in the process of being painted.
Your Brain Dawkins bobbleheads are finished and now they need some gentle care being packaged.
Looks like an NFL Quarterback is being molded into perfection!
Always have a clear work station. Who else has a nice green plant sitting on their desk?
Some “Prototype” bobbles on display at the factory.
Why don’t people realize how much bobbleheads really cost?
I get an insane amount of emails and DM’s from people asking me if I would sell them a bobblehead they like. I always reply with a friendly, “Yes”. I love all of my followers and customers but most of the people who ask, are middle school kids and high school kids. I get they want to start young and bobbleheads are right up their alley. So, they pick one out and ask how much. It just so happens it’s a beauty of a bobble and is valued at $100.00. Then they get all pissed. Then they ask about another one and it happens to be a 60-75 dollar bobble. Then they tell me it’s outrageous.
They have no conception of the value of bobbleheads and I don’t want them turned off from growing a collection. Then, they will proceed to ask me, do I have any I will sell for 2-5 dollars. I really hate this part of the business so I try and explain the value but they just don’t get it.
Lastly, I sometimes tell them if I did have a bobble under $10.00, how would they pay for it? Then, they say can you just give it to me because they don’t have Paypal or their dad won’t give them his credit card. You kidding me bro? They are only 7-14 years old.
So this is an area within this business that I do not like. I hate turning these youngsters down but maybe this blog will create awareness for the young collectors out there.
Motivational Thursday
“Congratulations, you’re hired.”
“Thank you. I am so grateful for this opportunity to wake up at 6 AM & sit in traffic so that I can stare at a computer screen for 8 hours everyday.”
Do something with your life. If you don’t enjoy sitting in a cubicle and crunching numbers all day with your eye balls popping out then do something about it. If you don’t enjoy bosses putting demands on you then be your own boss. Create a product or develop a business plan in which YOU are your own boss. The days of slaving away in a cubicle are over for people who are motivated. It’s your time.
